Are there still Dorothy Perkins stores?
No, Dorothy Perkins stores no longer exist on the high street. The brand, once a staple of British retail and part of Sir Philip Green's Arcadia Group, went into administration in 2020. Most of its physical stores closed, with the brand continuing online only after being bought by Boohoo in 2021.
